We are in the district of Montecucco, under the wind that inspired the Renaissance and the food and wine excellence of Tuscany. The Ribusieri agricultural society rises in the shadow of Monte Amiata, a volcano whose activity has produced the characteristics of fertility and minerality of this land. A soil generated by the disintegration of tuffs and sandstones, with a rich contribution in macro and micro porosity. Here, continental temperatures and rainfall form a microclimate made benevolent by the east and west shores of the farm: the Tyrrhenian Sea and Mount Amiata.
